Chapter 10 "Make Up" a Future

Xue Lang calmly said: "I don't know the actual distance, but I only know that it is very far away, from east to west, through the Persian Empire, through Saracen... Oh, that is what He Guanren said. In Byzantium, Dashi The eclipse is called the Saracen Empire. Through Saracen, over the Caucasus Mountains, there is the place where the students started, a place called Franz, which is now the territory of the Byzantine Empire."

Princess Pingyang can hold her breath very well, her face is still calm.He Panren was obviously a little shocked, as if he couldn't think of a specific concept and location, blinked his eyes twice, and asked hesitantly: "I don't know the territory of the Great Food Kingdom?"

"The Tang people called them the Great Food Kingdom, and the Byzantines called them Saracen. I also stayed in Saracen for a period of time when I came here. It was in its heyday. The sacrificial habits and living habits were very different from those of the Han people. The whole people believed in religion. It is extremely repulsive to pagans, so I dare not stay longer, and I don’t know how big Dashi is.”

Xue Lang mixed his words with eight parts true and two parts false.

He Panren nodded, stopped asking questions, and seemed to be thinking about something silently.Princess Pingyang, the host, said: "The tea soup is ready, Xue Langjun, please have tea soup."

"Thank you, General."

The maid who made the tea came over with a teacup. Xue Lang was not polite. He picked up the teacup, and as soon as he lifted the lid, a smell of seasoning filled his nostrils——

The tea in the Tang Dynasty needs to be seasoned.

Taking a look at Hei Suosuo's tea, for some reason, Xue Lang remembered the concoction he drank two days ago, and his mouth began to turn sour.

Looking at the three people who were drinking tea leisurely, Xue Lang took a sip in the guiding spirit of "tasting history".

The momentary hesitation seemed to make Her Royal Highness notice: "Mr. Xue Lang is not used to tea soup?"

Xue Lang said frankly: "The general treats each other with tea, and he should be grateful. Unfortunately, the ancestors moved overseas for a long time, and their eating habits and living habits have also changed a lot. The cooking method of this tea soup has been lost outside. I'm used to it, can I bother you to give me a cup of hot water?"

Xue Lang didn't want to force himself.Princess Pingyang glanced at the maid who made the tea, and the maid immediately stepped forward to exchange a glass of water for Xue Lang.

Princess Pingyang was just like gossip, and asked with an elegant and relaxed expression: "Your Majesty is not used to tea soup, what do you usually drink?"

Xue Lang replied with a smile: "I usually drink a lot of tricks, such as tea, fruit juice, etc. There are several kinds of tea, such as students, who like to boil the tea leaves after they are roasted. It has a refreshing fragrance; ladies like the general drink more types of tea, such as fruit tea made from dried fruits and scented tea made from dried flowers. These two types of tea are said to have the effect of beauty; Black tea is roasted and fermented black tea. Even black tea can be drunk in different ways, some with milk added to the tea, called milk tea, some without milk, etc.”

Princess Pingyang asked again: "The juice... as the name suggests is made from fruit?"

"Yes. The so-called juice is squeezed and ground from fresh fruit."

"If it is an overseas country, everything is different from my Tang Dynasty."

"Yes."

Princess Pingyang nodded, and suddenly changed the subject: "Mr. Lang's ancestral home is Jiankang, where is Jiankang?"

"I just heard my grandfather mentioned it a few times when I was young. My grandfather only said Jiankang. The specific location is too long to be tested because it has been too long. My ancestors moved several times before settling down in Frangji."

"How many times?"

"Yes. During the Yongjia Rebellion, the world fell apart. My ancestors decided to move and find a place to live. First, they went to sea. After sailing on the sea for three months, they encountered a storm and were blessed by their ancestors. They were blown to the shore of a certain place. He was rescued and landed, but it was a pity that he was incompatible with the customs of the local residents, and after a few years of seclusion, his family moved westward, and so several times, before moving to Frangji."

Princess Pingyang nodded: "It's simple to say, but I have to go through a lot of hardships."

"That's right. Everything is worse than hometown. At that time, Flangji was just a piece of fertile land without an owner, and the family lived there, farming and studying. Later, the Byzantine dynasty became stronger, and the army followed the will of the Byzantine emperor. To unify the whole of Europe, my Xue family vowed not to surrender to the death, and the resistance would not be defeated. My grandfather did not want to be a vassal to the barbarians, and ordered the students to move back to the Tang Dynasty. My grandfather said that after all, it is not a place for our Han people, and the Han people should return to China. Come. The beauty of the clothes is called Hua, and the great etiquette is called Xia!"

This is what Xue Lang made up when he was lying down and doing nothing these days. One is to explain his own background, and the other is to let the people of Datang know that in the far west, there is also a powerful empire. Don.

Perhaps, before Westerners come to China, we should go to the West first.It's not that the Chinese don't have the spirit of exploration, it's just that the Chinese are confident that our country is the best in the world.In the eyes of Chinese people, there are only two countries in the world, one China and one foreign country.

Xue Lang couldn't help feeling a little sad when he thought that he would never return to that modern China that was full of feasting and feasting.The three people in the hall looked at each other, and the girl in the lake green dress asked softly, "Is there anyone else in the Langjun family?"

"The whole family of 210, except for women, children, old and weak, all participated in the war. The student was the youngest son in the family, and he was saved from death by his elder brother. Seeing that the situation was over, my grandfather spent all his wealth and forced me to take ten guards. Leave. When the students left, it was the time when the whole family, women and children, hanged themselves to death. We walked for four years and suffered a lot along the way. The guards of the students died in order to protect the students. However, in my mind During this time, all my relatives are alive, and they will watch me live well in this land of China from the sky."

Xue Lang spoke very calmly.He has experienced the pain of losing his loved ones himself, and no amount of grief can last long. When the grief dissipates, we will miss them and miss them forever in our hearts. We will no longer be surrounded by grief, and we will work hard and live happily , This is the greatest comfort to the dead.

Princess Pingyang said: "The dead are gone, and those who come can be chased. Now that Mr. Xue Lang has returned to our Tang Dynasty, he can live here in peace. In this land of the Central Plains, let the Xue family prosper again."

"Thank you General for your good words. If the General hadn't rescued the students, I'm afraid the students would have suffered a lot. There is no way to repay the kindness of saving lives. Please also accept Xue Lang's gift from the General!"

As he said that, standing up and paying respects to Princess Pingyang was a big salute, and he bowed to the end.It was Xue Lang's sincerity to pay respects to this big ceremony, and it was also appropriate to worship her for saving his life.

Princess Pingyang glanced to the side, and the attendants on both sides hurriedly set up Xue Lang: "Mr. Xue Lang does not need to be polite. Saving a life is better than seven-storey pagodas. Since we have met, I should help. Lang Jun just came from afar. Coming back, I think I’m quite unfamiliar with the land of the Central Plains. I don’t know where you want to settle down? Jiankang? I can send someone to escort one or two.”

This is in chaos, and I am worried that I dare not go on the road alone. It would be great if Princess Pingyang sent someone to escort her.Xue Lang hurriedly said: "Students want to go to the capital first to look around and find a suitable job. After all, they will live in the Tang Dynasty in the future, and there must be a job that comes with money."

"So good..."

While Princess Pingyang was talking, suddenly a maid hurried in from outside, holding a wooden box in her hand, she stuck it to Princess Pingyang's ear, and whispered a few words.

Princess Pingyang's expression remained unchanged, she just glanced at Xue Lang, took the wooden box and opened it, and took out a few sheets of snow-white paper from the first layer, a dagger on the second layer, and a high-powered telescope on the third layer.

It was one of the gifts from Xue Lang.

Princess Pingyang quickly flipped through the blueprints, her expression was expressionless, and she looked up at Xue Lang: "This is the gift that Xue Langjun prepared?"

Xue Lang had a shy smile on his face: "Compared to the princess's life-saving grace, this is indeed a small gift."

Princess Pingyang took a deep look at Xue Lang, and pointed to the blueprint: "What is this? Please, Xue Lang-jun, explain it in detail!"

Xue Lang didn't speak immediately but looked at the people present.As expected of a businessman, He Fanren was very obedient, and got up immediately: "General, my subordinates still have business in the army, so I will retire first."

Princess Pingyang nodded and glanced to the side. The maid who made the tea immediately got up and led He Fanren out.
